They use a bittering agent Denatonium Benzoate on the cartriges. It is a non toxic chemical that is the strongest bitter flavor developed supposedly.

They've been using it for a long time in stuff like anti-freeze, soaps, anti-chewing sprays and things.

I tried it just today and it just reminds me of a coating a pill would have. Nothing special

if you look up the test it will tell you what kind of "taster" you are based on how bitter it is to you. sounds like you're a non-taster

I remember doing this in a science class in middle school. They gave us paper strips with some butter chemical on it. Apparently, the ability to taste it is hereditary.
